Yes. Should you require one, I provide a Certificate of Translation Accuracy (Certificado de exactitud) letter with my translations. While this certificate is not necessary in most situations, it is a common requirement for documents like background check letters or academic record translation for graduate programs, employment applications, or for services like WES credential evaluations.

Many people believe that they need a translator certified by the ATA to have a translation certified. This is not the case in 90% of translations that need to be “certified”. When a translation needs to be certified, it means that the translation must be formally “vouched for” by the translator through a Certificate of Translation Accuracy letter that is signed and dated by the translator.

Read more about what it means to have a certified translation: https://www.atanet.org/client-assistance/what-is-a-certified-translation/

The Certificate of Translation Accuracy letter includes:

• A statement affirming the completeness and accuracy of the translated document.
• A statement affirming that I am a professional translator for the languages of English and Spanish.
• A reference to the specific document(s) that have been translated.
• My name, signature, ATA membership number, and date.
• The image of my American Translators Association card and membership number.
• Letterhead with the contact information for Español con ánimo.

The short answer is yes. However, to be clear, what is being notarized is my signature on the Certificate of Translation Accuracy as notarizing a translation in and of itself is not possible. It is a misnomer that translations themselves can be notarized.

Please note that there is a fee for notarization.

Yes. My credentials allow me to translate your documents and provide you with a Certificate of Translation Accuracy for the translated documents. https://www.atanet.org/client-assistance/blog-uscis-certified-translation/

Unfortunately no. My credentials do not authorize me to meet the NALCAP application program translation requirements.

Unfortunately no. For most Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico and Spain, you need to have your documents translated by a sworn translator (traductor jurado) in the corresponding country. For Spanish Telework visas, you may use a U.S. based certified translator: https://www.exteriores.gob.es/Consulados/washington/en/ServiciosConsulares/Paginas/Consular/Telework-visa.aspx

Yes. Contact me with the details of your project for more information.

I perform translation work in multiple file formats for your convenience and project requirements. I have done translations for clients in TMS systems, Word, Pages, PDF, Canva, Excel, PowerPoint, and Google Docs/Sheets.

File formats are agreed to before beginning and completed translation files will be sent to you through email. PLEASE NOTE: Background check letters, academic transcripts, and diploma files are sent to you strictly in read-only .PDF format.

You sure will! The accuracy or your academic record is very important to me! I want you to be confident in what you are sending on to the program to which you are applying so you will receive a draft of the translation for your review. It is important for you to have the chance to review details like your student identification number, dates, and the spelling of your name. Once you approve the draft, I will send you the completed files and certificate of accuracy letter bearing my signature.

Completed translation files will be sent to you through email. If you need notary services for my signature on a Certificate of Accuracy letter, the hard copy will be mailed to you.
